Recognizing Civilian Marines is a part of the S/ES community’s culture. Rewarding our personnel for exceptional performance is a communication tool that directly aligns with the Civilian Workforce Campaign Plan. To recruit and retain top performers we must create and maintain an environment where our Civilian Marines feel appreciated for their contributions to the community and to the Marine Corps as a whole.
The S/ES COI has initiated two awards to reward Security and Emergency Services Professionals. These awards are given annually at the Headquarters Marine Corps Senior Leaders Security Training Banquet. A MARADMIN is released in the October/November timeframe each year soliciting nominations for each award.
